“…In this study, the short flowering flush of coffee plants precluded the use of more labour intensive survey methods that would have been necessary to sample so many sites simultaneously. Nonetheless, the bee community compositions we found are strikingly different from those obtained through visual observations (Nogueira-Neto et al 1959;Amaral 1972;Raw and Free 1977;Willmer and Stone 1989;Malerbo-Souza and Nogueira-Couto 1997;Roubik 2002;Klein et al 2003a;Ricketts 2004;Veddeler et al 2006Veddeler et al , 2008Vergara and Badano 2009).…”

“…Previous studies, mainly based on visual observations, have found honeybees (Apis species) to be dominant visitors of coffee in Brazil (Nogueira-Neto et al 1959;Amaral 1972;Malerbo-Souza and Nogueira-Couto 1997), Costa Rica (Ricketts 2004), Ecuador (Veddeler et al 2006(Veddeler et al , 2008, Indonesia (Klein et al 2003a), Jamaica (Raw and Free 1977), Mexico (Vergara and Badano 2009), Panama (Roubik 2002), and Papua New Guinea (Willmer and Stone 1989;Martins 2007;Karanja et al 2010). In almost every case, stingless bees (Hymenoptera: Apidae: Apinae: Meliponini) were also found to be major coffee visitors, second only to Apis.…”

Evaluating bee (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) diversity using Malaise traps in coffee landscapes of Costa Rica

Even though Arabica coffee (Coffea arabica Linnaeus, Rubiaceae) can self-pollinate, bees are important pollinators, without which there is lower fruit quality and yield. We studied bee diversity in coffee agroecosystems in Costa Rica during two coffee flowering seasons (2005 and 2006). Malaise traps were used as a passive sampling method to collect bees during coffee blooms. We collected 1012 bee individuals from three different site types: nonagricultural fields and shaded and unshaded coffee farms. Unshaded coffee farms had significantly higher species richness (S) and number of bee individuals (n) than did the shaded coffee farms and nonagricultural sites. Overall bee diversity did not differ among site types but evenness (J′) was significantly lower in unshaded coffee farms. Using a more detailed community analysis, there was a significant association between functional groups and habitat type with more species and individuals of small-bodied ground-nesting bees (Lasioglossum (Dialictus) Robertson) associated with unshaded coffee farms. A large proportion (49%) of bees collected were of this subgenus, which was never before reported as common in coffee agroecosystems. Further studies should establish whether Dialictus is important in coffee pollination. We propose strategies involving conservation of native bees through simple habitat management for small-scale coffee farms that may improve crop quality and quantity.

“…Many cultivated plants depend on ecological services offered by bees for their development (RICHARDS, 2001;MAUÉS, 2002) or to increase and improve the production of fruits and seeds (SANTANA et al, 2002;WESTERKAMP & GOTTSBERGER, 2002;MALERBO-SOUZA et al, 2003;WITTER & BLOCHTEIN, 2003;D'AVILA & MARCHINI, 2005). The basis for a sustainable agriculture is the maintenance of a diversified pollinator fauna for a wide variety of cultivated species.…”

ABSTRACT. The composition and diversity of bees in an agricultural area in Rio Claro, state of São Paulo, Brazil, were studied from May 2003 to June 2004, using Moericke traps. The collection site, an area with 58.08 hectares, is characterized by grain production and direct planting, with 70% of the surrounding area planted with sugar cane. During the study, 456 bees were collected, distributed among 20 genera, pertaining to the families Andrenidae (4.8%), Apidae (40.8%) and Halictidae (54.4%). Specimens of genera Dialictus (38%) and Diadasia (30%) predominated in this area. The species diversity, assessed using the Shannon and Simpson indices, were H'=1.88 and 1/ D= 4.15, respectively, and the Evenness index was 0.61.

“…Additionally, we found a similar bee species composition in our landscapes with those obtained in the same region 66 to 10 years ago , Malerbo-Souza et al 2003. Apparently there was few changes in the composition of bee species in coffee plantations in the last 66 years, at least for the most abundant ones.…”
